    Engine not starting or cutting out

    Hi all hope this is the right place to post this. My LR Defender TD5 2001 would not start the other day but it was not starter motor issue. I left it 20 minutes and it started first time but 100 yards down the road the engine cut out. After that I could not start it. Could this be a fuel...

    Ignition Problem

    Guys/Gals I have now inserted a new battery and it looks as if this has resolved the issue. Now just have to go and see the nice man at the garage and ask him why he installed a new starter motor for £270 when I didn't actually need one!!

    Just to confirm - I turn the key three or four times and nothing happens. Then on about the fourth turn the engine fires up as normal but this is intermitent i.e. sometimes the engine will fire up on the first turn of the key. Sorry for the confusion

    It does start ok but only after turning the key three or four times, then it fires up OK. However, will try your suggestion and if that doesn;t work I will fit a new battery

    Both key fobs are doing the same - I have two spare batteries. If it was the key fob thought, why would it start after about the third or forth attempt

    Ignition Problem

    For some reason my 2001 Defender has started playing up. When I turn the ignition key nothing happens for the first few tries but then it does start up after a few tries. I had a new starter motor fitted which cost me £270!! but this has not resolved the issue. When I asked the garage if...

    Warm Air Coming From Somewhere

    I don't usually have any problems with my TD5 110 County but if I drive on the motorway above say 50 m.p.h. (unusual) then metal frames under the front driver and passenger seats get very very warm. So does the column in the centre where the gearstick sits but not forward of the gearstick. The...
